All ages, levels and musical styles are welcome.
My personalized teaching method is to study the profile and the difficulties of each student, in order to be able to offer him a learning method that corresponds to him.
I offer individualized classes, with different methods depending on the objective of each student.
Learning an instrument is not only a skill, but a lifetime enjoyment. The need to express emotions or let loose some inner tension, an instrument is the perfect tool. Music sings the sound of the soul, and the cello is the perfect instrument. Having played the cello for 17 years, i can say that music is a must for a happy life. It is the universal language. Dont be afraid to take that first step.
I will be very happy if I can help you, and show you how fun and easy can be playing cello!
I am enthusiastic, creative, open to new challenges. I am versatile - I have performed a
large repertoire of diverse cello music. I collaborate in chamber ensembles, in
orchestras, also have been playing in orchestra in Germany, Lithuania, Czech Republic, in
Malta, In Poland, I have also been playing solo with orchestra. I accepted an invitation to
become a cello teacher and it was helpful as I became more critical of myself and I was
looking for new techniques and methods.
I have been composing since the age of 8, I write compositions in the chamber music genre, including for cello solo, cello and piano, piano and oboe and string quartet. Music is my language and my way to express myself, I feel
every note deep in my heart and it is reflected in the timbre of the cello.
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.
I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, lessons can focus on a variety of areas including:
-sight-reading and sheet music literacy
-ear training and pitch recognition
-music theory fundamentals
-technique and performance skills
-singing and playing simultaneously
I also incorporate my own proven teaching method, but I am happy to adjust to methods you may already be familiar with or prefer. Lessons are customized to align with your musical interests and objectives.
If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to reach out, I´d be happy to connect and discuss how we can get started.

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey!
My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels.
For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that!
Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;)
I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example.
The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else.
Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible.
See you soon!
Richard
PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)
